Both AI doomers and AI fanboys/fangirls need to take a chill pill and a fucking expectation management class.

There's a lot to be genuinely upset about in the field of ML/AI/call it what you want. There's also a lot to be excited about.

Things could be a whole lot worse, things could be a whole lot better. In the end, both hype and hysteria will die off, and it will dawn on us that not much has actually changed.

@drq “expectation management class” sounds like a general way to dismiss any possibility of radical change without going into detail. It sounds like, “nothing ever happens in the world, relax”. Like there’s been no Industrial Revolution, no Neolithic Revolution, no emergence of intelligence in humans.

If you allow that some things may in principle happen sometimes, you need to talk specifics.

AI marketers show you a good picture. What they don't show you is, how hard and long they massaged the learning data and the prompts to get such impressive results. Sometimes they skip that part altogether and just hire a human actor to pretend to be their AI. And when you try to use AI as advertised (expecting that it will just make the thing for you, no labour involved), you hit the wall. Hard.

No matter how clever it is, it's only you who can make your own thing.

Likewise, AI fearmongerers just indiscriminately damn the technology itself (not its application, not any given instance of it), which is the sure-fire way to leave a lot of advantages it can bring on the table (for somebody not so uptight to take over), and we really need any advantage we can get.

Sweeping generalizations are almost never good, and if you ignore new inventions, you *will* be left behind.

Net, all of this is clownery and noise that drowns out actual conversation.

This applies to Google as well.

They relentlessly prompt me about logging in at every opportunity. 😐

@wikihow Seriously, just summon some buttons on the router.

Thanks especially to people building software, making art, telling their personal stories, inviting friends or organizations, joining groups, making jokes, thinking hard, making connections, liking, reading, listening, watching, administering, moderating, supporting, sharing, being kind, making friends, answering questions, and otherwise laying down the careful and intricate network of connections between people, software and content that is slowly but surely changing the world.

@BrodieOnLinux as a non-native english speaker I found that one pretty difficult to follow.
also according to Leah's profile,
their pronouns are they/them

@BrodieOnLinux libreboot is still a terrible name for a nonfree software product even if it was near useless before.

Imagine making an animal free burger called vegan burger. then add meat because more people like meat, but still call it vegan burger.

@neural_meduza в смысле запретили? Я думал это его прямая должностная обязанность

@vas3k amazing! Where did you get them, or do you have the artwork for anyone who might want to print their own?

Say hello to my adorable furry little plant friend.

Moss is awesome. It's a plant you can pet. What's not to love?

A little piece of moss. Oval shaped on a wood background. It looks somewhat like a little plant creature.

Is there an Egyptologist in the house? I'm looking for information about the attached glyph. I did a reverse image search and I found indication it is related to the god Ra. Where's a good resource of information for this sort of thing?

@Xucaen This is the phrase "sa Re", "son of Ra", which you'll see in the titles of kings.
